I would like to see the report. I would be interested in reading all the conditions that they subjected the tanks to.

Thanks

I only have as a paper copy, but I think I have seen it on line somewhere. If I recall where I saw it I will post a link.
 
I have a copy of that report at home. I don't recall all the details, but they used about a pint of salt water into the tanks and filled them to pressure. They also kept them at a very warm temperature to simulate absolute worst condition. IMHO a relatively extreme test, very useful information, but needs a bit of interpretation.

In 6 hours this post was on Google with the search term : "University of Rhode Island" scuba rust
 
Here's another dialog on the topic.
